--After being one of the better scoring teams in the league for a number of seasons, the Wizards, minus so many players at one time or another, found it hard to score points at all. Conversely, their poor defense became a more pronounced problem than it had been in prior seasons.

--The situation was so dire that early on rookie C JaVale McGee was being compared to Dwight Howard. McGee is very athletic but at the same time he is very raw. He could develop into a good player, perhaps even an All-Star. However, that day is a long way off.
